Grew up on Sylvan Avenue in Sale (Manchester, England) - the same
street the Gibb brothers of Bee-Gees fame grew up on twenty years
before. Worked as animator of Cosgrove Hall who made Wind in The
Willows and also the Dangermouse cartoons. After a number of aborted
bands in the early eighties, finally got a group together with school
friend Ian Brown (vocals) (Ancoats, Lancashire 20/2/63). In 1984, the
embryonic Stone Roses played their first gigs in Sweden. Squire was
lead guitarist with the Stone Roses until 1996 when he left to form his
own band The Seahorses. This group continued with numerous UK Top 20
hits and a number one album until 1999 when the group disbanded. The
whereabouts of John Thomas Squire at time of writing are
unknown.
